The Three Great Passes of Everest

This spectacular trek will more than satisfy the ambitious trekker intent on crossing high passes without the commitment to any technical climbing. The trek offers an enduring experience of natural beauty, geological magnificence and profound cross-cultural discovery.

Heading towards Everest we cross the Kangma La to the Everest Base Camp and Kala Pattar. After identifying the classic climbing routes to the Everest we complete a spectacular traverse over the Cho La to the alpine pastures and lakes of Gokyo. From Gokyo Ri we gain further outstanding views of Everest before heading over the Renjo La to the Thame. After Thame we will trek to Lukla via Namche and take our flight back to Kathmandu.
